Blood on egg two days in a row..

One of our chickens has been laying eggs with blood on them, what can cause that?

Lots of blood or a smear?

smeared but a fair bit both times. We found out which hen it is, she has some type of blood like swollen area sticking out, what would a prolapsed cloaca look like?

Prolapse looks like what you are describing, a swollen bump of flesh sticking out of the vent. Can be small or very large. Can you post a pix? Basic care is seperate the hen, keep quiet and in a dim area to reduce laying. You can search for more info here. The basic treatment seems to be use honey or preparation H on the prolapse and gently push it back inside and hope it stays. May take more than one try. Vets can stitch it in as well. I'm not experienced with this so please...
Start a new thread or go back and change the title of this thread to Need help with prolapse
So the more experienced members can chime in.

Good Luck
